Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Strega North End is a vibrant dining spot in Boston's North End, famed for its "amazing food" and lively ambiance. Diners rave about the "best brunch in the city" and "exceptional service," especially from the personable Carlo. The "Parmesan Wheel Pasta" is a standout, though the restaurant can get "very loud" and busy, so reservations are highly recommended.

    Was sat 30 minutes late and placed into a small corner with two makeshift tables. Not very comfortable

    We asked to moved our table and then were ignored when we did. Servers didn’t have a clue who was taking care of us. Extremely poor service

    I really enjoy going to Strega, so this is more of a question for OpenTable. I’m just wondering what the process is when a guest notes a special occasion in their reservation. Is that something the restaurant is notified about in advance? I’ve included it a couple of times at different places but haven’t had it acknowledged, so I’m just curious how that information is typically used.

    The pasta itself was amazing! It was really loud & crowded. The server was borderline rude. We were told they had no dessert or coffee & felt like they just wanted us to hurry up to eat & leave. The rest of the food was average. This place is overrated.

    Good food, tough service. We felt very rushed - even though the food was good.

    VERY LOUD! I’m in my early 30s and I felt like I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. So be prepared! It definitely aged me. A lot of young people.

    Restaurant was recommended by a friend who lives in Boston this place doesn’t disappoint! Our server was wonderful. The food was incredible. My son had the special snapper of the day he’s 17 and he said this is the best meal he’s had in his whole life. I had the shrimp and scallop pasta delicious if you’re in Boston you need to try this place
